Sugarmade Inc (OTCMKTS:SGMD) Acquisition Drive Triggers Bounce

Shares of Sugarmade Inc (OTCMKTS:SGMD) remain under pressure even on the company announcing plans to pursue revenue opportunities after passing of the U.S Farm Bill. The stock has also continued to edge lower even after the company reiterating it is eyeing rapid growth in California. Over the past year, the stock has shed more than 70% in market value and remains engulfed in a steep downtrend.

Share Price Analysis

While the underperformance is a point of concern, the stock could be about to turn course after hitting rock bottom. Recent price action activity has pointed to a stock that is a potential bounce-back play on waning short selling pressure.

Fuelling suggestions that Sugarmade is a potential bounce-back play is the fact that underlying fundamentals have started showing signs of improvement. Investors’ confidence has started ticking high depicted by a 50% share price rally from all-time lows.

The rally has come on the company announcing plans to acquire BZRTH LLC as it looks to expand its presence in the cannabis sector. In addition, the company is in the process of completing the acquisition of Hydroponic retailer Hydro4Less as part of its acquisition drive that seeks to reinvigorate growth prospects.

The stock has since bottomed out from the $0.05 level, waiting to see if the emerging uptrend has the momentum to continue pushing the stock higher. For the stock to turn bullish, in the short term, it needs to rally and stabilize above the $0.09 level.

Above the critical resistance level, the stock should be on its way to the $0.14 mark, the next substantial resistance level. Below the $0.09 level, Sugarmade remains vulnerable to further drops given the underlying long-term downtrend and the fact that short sellers are still in firm control.
